'''Eggs''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are items and objects, acting either helpful or as hindrances.


==[[Yoshi]] Eggs==
==History==
The spotted Yoshi Eggs are white with specifically-colored spots. These colors depend on the gender and color of the corresponding Yoshi. If the egg is from a male Yoshi, the spots will be the color of the Yoshi that laid it. If the egg is from a female Yoshi, the spots will be the color of the Yoshi inside the egg.
===''Donkey Kong Jr.''===
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' are obstacles occasionally dropped by [[Nitpicker]]s, and if [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] touches an egg, he loses a life.


Yoshi Eggs are able to be used as projectile weapons--mainly by the Yoshis themselves. However, only Yoshi Eggs laid by females hatch into more Yoshis.
===''Pinball / VS. Pinball''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Pinball Egg.png]]|bg=black}}
Eggs in ''[[Pinball (game)|Pinball]]'' and ''[[Pinball (game)|VS. Pinball]]'' appear in [[scene B]], where there are three of them. If the ball touches an egg, it hatches into a [[chick]]. If all three eggs hatch into chicks, an [[up-post]] appears in between the [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s.


==[[Birdo]] Eggs==
===''Wario's Woods''===
Although recent discoveries have proven that Birdos can spit pink Yoshi Eggs, most Birdo Eggs are non-spotted. A Birdo will spit Birdo Eggs out of its cannon-like snout, and use the eggs like bullets.
[[File:PieceCreatureEgg.gif|frame]]
In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', '''Creature Eggs'''{{ref needed}} are items that can be achieved whenever [[Toad]] performs a "breakfast" combo move in the vs. mode. The breakfast move is performed whenever Toad clears multiple rows/columns/diagonals of monsters at once with one bomb. At this point of time, a falling egg will appear on the side of Toad's opponent. Upon hitting the ground, this Creature Egg would hatch into any type of monster of varied colors. After the Creature Egg hatches, an additional row of monsters of one color will rain on his opponent. Whenever Toad performs a three way breakfast combo will send two eggs instead of one. While the eggs can be prevented from hatching, it is difficult to do so as it must be done by matching an entire row of monsters with the color of the egg.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' are yellow and can be spit out by [[Squawks]] to defeat most enemies.


==Mystery Egg==
Giant eggs in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' appear in [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krow's Nest]] and [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest level)|Kreepy Krow]], where they are dropped by Krow and Kreepy Krow in their respective battles to try and hit the [[Kong]]s. Giant eggs in both levels can be picked up and thrown at the boss, which is the only way to damage and eventually defeat them.
Found only on [[Mt. Rugged]], Mystery Eggs are from an unknown creature and are only found in a bush at the base of the mountain. The egg recovers 5 HP, but is used in all sorts of recipes by [[Tayce T.]].


== Recipes ==
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
*Egg= [[Fried Egg]]
Eggs in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' are items that can be thrown at opponents or eaten for health.

For a certain favor, Mario can obtain Mystic Eggs from Petuni during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]''. Like in its prequel, the egg recovers 5 HP and may be used in all sorts of recipes.

[[Category: Items]]
Eggs in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are rare items that restore five [[Heart Point|HP]]. An Egg appears when checking the grass in the first area of [[Mt. Rugged]] where there is a train station, and it also appears by pulling a vine in [[Jade Jungle]], in an area behind the Raven Statue. Eggs also appear in the kitchen of [[Peach's Castle]] as a special item and are used to make the [[Special Strawberry Cake]] for [[Gourmet Guy]] during the Peach intermission after Chapter 4.
 
Eggs were later replaced by [[Mystic Egg]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where they function identically and [[Big Egg]]s in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they heal 12 HP instead of 5 HP.

PieceCreatureEgg.gif

In the SNES version of Wario's Woods, Creature Eggs[citation needed] are items that can be achieved whenever Toad performs a "breakfast" combo move in the vs. mode. The breakfast move is performed whenever Toad clears multiple rows/columns/diagonals of monsters at once with one bomb. At this point of time, a falling egg will appear on the side of Toad's opponent. Upon hitting the ground, this Creature Egg would hatch into any type of monster of varied colors. After the Creature Egg hatches, an additional row of monsters of one color will rain on his opponent. Whenever Toad performs a three way breakfast combo will send two eggs instead of one. While the eggs can be prevented from hatching, it is difficult to do so as it must be done by matching an entire row of monsters with the color of the egg.

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

Eggs in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! are yellow and can be spit out by Squawks to defeat most enemies.

Giant eggs in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest appear in Krow's Nest and Kreepy Krow, where they are dropped by Krow and Kreepy Krow in their respective battles to try and hit the Kongs. Giant eggs in both levels can be picked up and thrown at the boss, which is the only way to damage and eventually defeat them.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Eggs in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee are items that can be thrown at opponents or eaten for health. The latter game's Egg trophy identifies them as representing the Super Smash Bros. series, but not the Super Mario franchise.

Paper Mario[edit]

Egg
An egg in Paper Mario
Paper Mario description An egg of unknown origin. Restores 5 HP.
An egg used by Princess Peach after Chapter 4 of Paper Mario

Eggs in Paper Mario are rare items that restore five HP. An Egg appears when checking the grass in the first area of Mt. Rugged where there is a train station, and it also appears by pulling a vine in Jade Jungle, in an area behind the Raven Statue. Eggs also appear in the kitchen of Peach's Castle as a special item and are used to make the Special Strawberry Cake for Gourmet Guy during the Peach intermission after Chapter 4.

Eggs were later replaced by Mystic Eggs in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where they function identically and Big Eggs in Super Paper Mario, where they heal 12 HP instead of 5 HP.

Eggs can be used in the following recipes, resulting in the following cooked items:

Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)[edit]

Eggs in the Game Boy Advance version of Mario Bros. are random items that players can find inside of a garbage can and throw to break it and reveal one of three items inside: a coin, Heart or Starman. Eggs in Mario Bros. have the same sprite as Birdo's Eggs.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

Eggs in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake are objects appearing as battle gimmicks of Birdo, who may occasionally inhale Popple and spit out multiple egg capsules in his stead. One contains Popple, the others contain pink Bob-omb-like enemies that dash through a random bro. The eggs break after some hits, releasing Popple, and allowing him to be attacked again.
